Later, the Yanyang Kingdom and the Haoyue Kingdom had conflicts of varying sizes on both sides of the Nujiang River. General Yuewei taught her ancestral spear skills to every Black Sail soldier, and invented the close combat weapon Bat Double-Edged Blade. She was also a first-class climber and assassin. In just three years, she built an invincible Black Sail Fleet on land and sea.

The girl joined the army at fifteen and by eighteen had become renowned. Under her leadership, the Black Sail Army swept across the Nu River. The Haoyue Kingdom's Dongning Army, once invincible with their ironclad warships, became terrified at the mere sight of the Black Sail.

From then on, the Black Sail Fleet became the strongest maritime force in Yanyang, and became the pride and legend of the Dongyi people. Dongyi City, thanks to its powerful maritime power, also developed into a prosperous port city in Yanyang.

The deeds of this legendary female general were told in the streets and alleys, and people wrote her story into books to inspire young people to remain loyal to defend their country and to be filial to their fathers by joining the army.

Uncle Ling took a sip of tea, sighed, and continued, "However, although General Yuewei is extremely brave on the battlefield, she is still an eighteen-year-old girl at heart, and she is ignorant when it comes to love. At a celebration banquet, she met the young master of the Dongyi City Lord's Mansion. Let's call him Jiang for now."

Murong Yan nodded in understanding and said lazily, "Oh, it turns out to be Guangcheng Hou Jiang Yulou."

Ling Guojiu glared at him and said, "Your Highness, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

"Uncle, since you mentioned the Black Sail Army and the Lord of Dongyi City, then I guess it's also the Guangcheng Marquisate's business."

Liu Zhang was sitting at his desk, speaking with disdain, "I've heard of Marquis Guangcheng. I've heard he favors his concubine over his wife. He abandoned his first wife and even stole his brother-in-law's fiancée. As fate would have it, his concubine gave birth to three foolish sons."

"The Way of Heaven is clear and unmistakable." Murong Yao chuckled as he fanned himself, then continued, "Isn't this exactly what the uncle of the emperor was talking about today, about morality and metaphysics?"

Uncle Ling frowned slightly, hesitating whether to continue. After all, he and Marquis Guangcheng were colleagues, and it was not a gentleman's behavior to expose his shortcomings behind the back to the younger generation.

"Teacher, please tell us the story of Marquis Guangcheng and General Yuewei. How did he obtain the Black Sail Army, and why did he give birth to three foolish sons?"

Ling Guojiu sighed slightly, unable to resist the pleas of the crowd, and continued, "Then I will continue. The following story is not written in "Joining the Army in My Father's Place", but many people should know it."

"At that time, Jiang was twenty-one, a dashing and talented man. Although he was the illegitimate son of the Guangcheng Marquisate, his handsome appearance attracted many admirers. Even the eldest princess in the capital was interested in recruiting him as her consort. His relationship with General Yuewei was more likely to be a case of ulterior motives on Jiang's part than love at first sight."

With the decisive battle with the Dongning Army, the Black Sail Army won a great victory, the Yanyang Kingdom and the Haoyue Kingdom finally signed a peace treaty, and the Dongyi City also ushered in an unprecedented prosperity.

As the saying goes, when the birds are gone, the bows are put away. Although General Yuewei was an excellent general, like most soldiers, he planned to retire after receiving the reward from the court.

The Lord of Dongyi City, Marquis Guangcheng, held a grand celebration banquet for her. At the banquet, the eighteen-year-old General Yuewei met the handsome Jiang for the first time. She was attracted by his appearance and fell in love with him at first sight.

Jiang also discovered General Yuewei's love for him. At that time, she was very famous in Dongyi and also served as the commander of the Black Sail Army. People who proposed marriage to the old patriarch came to her door.

Jiang seized this opportunity and launched a fierce pursuit of General Yuewei. General Yuewei soon fell in love with his handsome face and elegant conversation, and the two fell in love.

At that time, the old city lord felt that General Yuewei came from a poor family and was not a good match for his son, so he tried to obstruct her in every possible way.

In desperation, General Yuewei chose to continue commanding the Black Sail Army, just to have the conditions for marrying Jiang. In the end, under pressure from the Black Sail Army, the old city lord agreed to the marriage.

After the two married, the Black Sail Army officers, seeing their general's illustrious military achievements, yet married to a powerless bastard, sought the position of Lord of Dongyi City for them. Under the dual pressure of General Yuewei's popular prestige and the Black Sail Army, the old Lord of Dongyi City finally gave the position of Lord of Dongyi City to Jiang.

He was also allowed to inherit the title of Marquis of Guangcheng.

Just as General Yuewei was immersed in the sweet love net woven by Jiang Mou, Li, who was originally married to her younger brother, coveted the position of the city lord's wife. For the sake of glory and wealth, she secretly climbed into Jiang Mou's bed.

Jiang was attracted by the charming Li, and the two became accustomed to each other. Afterwards, they often secretly communicated with each other when General Yuewei was away on military training.

Soon, their affair was discovered. The old city lord wanted to secretly dispose of Li, but Li claimed to be pregnant with Jiang's child. General Yuewei was furious and wanted to divorce Jiang, but Jiang's sincere confession and sweet talk won him over. The naive General chose to forgive Jiang.

In desperation, General Yuewei's younger brother had to dissolve his marriage with the Li family. From then on, he turned his back on worldly affairs and devoted himself to martial arts.

However, Jiang, under the pretext of being a man of justice and responsibility, brought Li into the City Lord's Mansion as a concubine, and also persuaded General Yuewei that as the mistress, she should learn to be tolerant.

This action drew curses from the people of Dongyi City. Some people in the Black Sail Army even stood up for General Yuewei's siblings and wanted to storm into the City Lord's Mansion, demanding severe punishment for the adulterer and the adulteress, but they were eventually stopped by General Yuewei.

She said that she had killed countless enemies in her life and her hands were stained with blood, but at this moment, she could not bear to point her sword at an unarmed woman, and only wanted to accumulate some virtue for her unborn child.

It turned out that General Yuewei was already pregnant with Jiang's child at that time.

It's a pity that General Yuewei is extremely brave on the battlefield, but he can't fight against the young lady's intrigue in the backyard. Li is not an unarmed woman, she is a poisonous snake who will do anything to achieve her goals.

She never gave up her pursuit of the position of the city lord's wife, and repeatedly framed General Yue Wei, falsely accusing her of jealousy. She even plotted her future with the life of her unborn child, threatened to have an abortion, and falsely accused General Yue Wei of killing the city lord's eldest son.

However, in order to create an image of himself as a gentleman who can correct his mistakes in front of the people and the Black Sail Army, Jiang not only ignored Li, but also turned a blind eye to her miscarriage.

In front of others, he acted like a doting and loyal person towards his wife. He was very attentive and caring towards General Yuewei during her pregnancy, and this action was quickly forgiven by the people of Dongyi City and the Black Sail Army.

Jiang, who obtained the title of Marquis of Guangcheng, gradually became more ambitious. He was always wary of the Black Sail Army under General Yuewei and her influence among the people in Dongyi City.

Therefore, Jiang Mou used the excuse that General Yuewei was pregnant and unable to work hard, and ostensibly took charge of the Black Sail Army on her behalf, but in fact he began to secretly disperse her power.
